*   Policy 1 (2024-01): Backups retained 14 days.
    *   Policy 2 (2025-06): Backups retained 30 days.
    *   Policy 3 (2026-05): Backups retained 45 days for production systems.
    *   Question: For a production system *today*, what retention rule applies and why?

    *   Current date (simulated/real-time): Today is May 2024 (or generally, any date before June 2025).
    *   Wait, looking at the dates provided:
        *   2024-01 (January 2024)
        *   2025-06 (June 2025)
        *   2026-05 (May 2026)

    *   If "today" is the current real-world date (May 2024), only the 2024-01 policy is active.
    *   However, usually, in these logic puzzles, "today" refers to the current date of the system.
    *   Current date: May 2024.

    *   2024-01: Active.
    *   2025-06: Future date.
    *   2026-05: Future date.

    *   The rule from 2024-01 applies.
    *   Retention: 14 days.
    *   Why: It is the most recent policy that has already gone into effect.

    *   Rule: 14 days.
    *   Reason: The 2024-01 policy is the only one currently in effect, as the other policies are dated for the future (2025 and 2026).
